Subject: gitweb and unicode special characters
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 10:33:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3f2beab60812121033r5d41894t77acc271b7c6955c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Git currently does not handle unicode special characters ZWJ and ZWNJ,
both are heavily used in Malayalam and common in other languages
needing complex text layout like Sinhala and Arabic.
An example of this is shown in the commit message here
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=smc.git;a=commit;h=c3f368c60aabdc380c77608c614d91b0a628590a
\20014 and \20015 should have been ZWNJ and ZWJ respectively. You just
need to handle them as any other unicode character - especially it is
a commit message and expectation is normal pain text display.
I hope some one will fix this.
- Praveen
